WASHINGTON, D. c., January S.-The sig

reports that the German ship, elizabeth"
OF Bremen, went ashore at , n. N. TO-DAY,
40 miles south Of Cape Henry.
NORFOLK, Va, January S.-One of the most
disastrous shipWrecks which ever occurred
on the Virginia coast happened near the
Little Island life saving station, 40 miles
south of Cape Henry. Not less than twenty
and probably more lives were lost, among
them nve HE saving men, who IN the dis
charge of their duty were drowned. The
morning was bitterly cold, and binding
snow storm prevailed, with the wind blow
ing gale from the northeast. During
lull IN the storm life saving patrol from
the Little Island life saving station sighted
large ship stranded on ths bar about 800
yards from the shore. The Dam Neck pa
troll was only few yards distant when the
vessel was sighted and both fred rockets to
notify the crew of the stranded ship that she
had been seen.
They hurried back to their respective sta
1ons and gave the alarm. In little while
both Crews with lie boats and apparatus,
were abreast of the wreck, and the boom Of
the mortar announced that the linehad been
shot to the ill-fated vessel. The shot was
unsuccessful. After firing six uns .ccessful
shots the life saving men dets rmined to
brave the furious sea aud the death which
seemed certain to await their venture. The
Eord OF command being given by Captain
BelanZa, of life saving station No. 4, known
as Little Island, six of TIE most expert bot +
men manned each boat, ard at this com
mand gave way with will and IN a moment
both boats were breasting the furious waves.
] hey reached the ship in safety and five of
the ships crew we're taken IN alife boat and
ten in a ships boat, which was launched for
the purpose, and were headed for shore. The
boats were making good Roadway when
wave Of great power struck the boats, cap
sizing them instantly and pitching their
twenty-five occupants into the sea. The
hOrrified life savers on the beach were DOW
erless to assist their drowning comrades or
tne unfortunate strangers The drowning
men were carried southwark by the seas and
some Of them were washed ashore. AS they
came within reach they were picked up, and
endeaVors were made to revive them, and in
two instances with success, although one OF
the two was badly injured. The vessel is the

Captain Halberstadt, from Hamburg TO Bal

wreck. Her cargo IL unknown, as the high
seas have thus far prevented any attempt to
reach her. Il il thought she Is leaking badly,
and at sunset her masts were thought to be

LEAD AND ZINC.

Something Concerning Kansas Mines OF
This Character.
IN his annual report Mine Inspector John
R. BraidWOOd speaks as follows concerning
the lead and zinc mines of Kansas:
This important and growing industry Is
carried on entirely Ia Cherokee county.
The largest zinc smelling furnaces, however
are IN Crawford county, near and within easy
reach OF the coal mines. Not having had
time, so far, to make the lead and ZINC mines
a personal visit ana get out this report in
anything ike the proper time required by
law, I have had to depend upon information
from other parties interested and vel &C
quainted with this industry. to whom / am
very much indebted for the following in
formation:
Lead and zinc mines are worked on an en-
tirely different plan from coal mines. The
land owner lays his land ont Ia lots, usually
containing about one acre, and gives
the miner a contract to mine 1t, pay
ing him on what Is called S25 basis. That
IS, when lead Is quoted at7cents IN st. Louis,
Mo- the miner receives 80 Per
1000 pounds for mining and cleaning
the lead ore. At the present EpEice of lead,
February J. 1886, they receive $3.50 Per
loo pounds, this being the average price
paid for mining and cleaning lead ore. The
miner In most cases sells the zinc ore, pay
ing 70 the land owner from 10 to 20 per cent
The average price OF zinc ore Is about SIS
per ton.
Cost Of mining both lead and zine varies
according 20 the size of the deposit and the
kind Of ground in which &c is found. In case
il is found IN soft or open ground where but
Little blasting IS required, the cost Is very
small On the other hand Whsro ths

Saved by a Tramper.

Chattanooga Times.
The north-bound Cincinnati Southern
passenger train from Chattanooga had
narrow escape from being wrecked, and
the 200 passengers aboard are indebted
for their safety to poor tramp. About
8 O'Clock, as he was tramping from Day
ton to Spring City, weary and footsoTe,
he suddenly came to a ttle-guard, Just
around sharp curve, into which had
fallen large steer. The animal was
struggling to extricate itself, but each
move made its position worse. Milea
down the valley the tramp heard the
hoarse shrek Of the engine pulling the
night express, and he quickly realized
that something must be done. There
was not house in the vicinity where he
could secure a light to fash a warn
ing to the train. He found e single
match in his pocket, and on that depend
ed the safety OF the y and its pres-
ious load. He. procured some small sticks
and with some paper managed to Endls
a fire, and ten minutes later, when No.
6 Numbered up the track, the tramp
flashed the light across the rails and the
train was saved. With great difficulty
the huge steer was removed from the
guard, and the train proceeded to Gin
cinnati. It is needless to say the tramp
got free ride to the Queen City.

mines, representing a capital of $780,
600. 1t was then estimated that about $19,-
900, 900 was invested in the state in factories.
This year, SIS, $3.50, 424 is reported, and it is
safe to place the full total at S22,OOO,OO0.

If there is one thE more than an

a hobby. SomethiJ5.s 4s,zz in this Iins IS
invented every little while By some fair
sister, for hobbies grow stale and min
teresting in a short time. The latest
out is the collection of the small neck
ties which gentlemen now wear and ara
used by the dear creatures, who beg them
a most novel and sentimental manner.
4 small cord Is stretched from post to
post across the head and foot piece OF
the young lady's bed, to which the ties
are fastened. 4 tie, when presented by,
or begged Of, q gentleman must be ac-
cOmpAnied by miniature card bearing
the name or monogram, under which the
lady writes the prettiest compliment the
giver has ever paid to her. The ties are
arranged artistically with regard to col
or, and the bellies of fashion vie with each
other in endeavoring to be the first to

night tie is taken from the line and
placed under the pillow to insure pleas

the decorations she be not engaged to
marry, the ties are put into a black bag,
tied with a black ribbon and hung in an
obscure corner. She must then begin

be made, and the ties ara fastened IN
clusters here and there all over the top

Living Governors.

Living Governors.
TOPEKA, January 1.-The inaugural
ceremonies of Governor Martin
and the state officers took place Monday
afternoon. January 10, in Representative
hall. The always beautiful hall seemed to
have taken On more charms for the occa-
sion. Double festoons of ground pine, in
terwoven with red roses, Luag in long loops
pendant from the chandeliers, and were
caught against the marble columns with
pretty flags. From the center chandelier
hung a pyramid of evergreen, thickly dotted
with red roses and tiny flags. Above the
speakers desk was the emblem of sunny
Kansas, a gorgeous saBhOWer of mammoth
dimensions, measuring twelve feet across,
each one OF its shapely petals bearing on
its broad face history IN itself, that any
state may well be proud Of. There were
fifteen of the petals visible. On the first
was the inscription, "COal, 5000, 600 acres;''

the speakers stan1, interminglinR with the
folds of the flag, and the same in diminutive
proportions graced the freseo about the gal
leries.
Over the entrance door was a realistic
picture and another advertisement for
Kansas. 1t consisted of a single paindng,
but the canvas told the story of Kansas
growth and her wonderful advancement in
material wealth in a fe strokes OF the ar

undulating prairie, ending where earth and
sky at last blend into one. The rich yellow

the dim distance, where the rosy hue of the
clouds betokened the rising sun. In the i'm

curve was a railroad with a train OF engines
The foremost one bore on the cylinder head
the word 'BOOnl! and flag with the in
scriptiOn, ''Kansas, 1890 miles" of railroad
IN 1886; the second engine represented Ne
braska with 737 miles, and in the receding
distance each engine represented the de-
creasing ratio of railroad building IN the
past year in the states. In which, as IN eV-
erything else. Kansas takes the lead.
At the right of the speakers desk we're
